Thankful…number 1.

I’m starting a new series on This Girl. I will be linking up these thankful posts on the left side, if anyone is interested. Would love to hear your thankful’s, also. So figure out how to comment here. Maybe I should do a comment tutorial this week? Let me know if you are interested.

Stuff about me.

I’m Susan. Wife, mom, daughter, sister, empty-nester. I like my coffee bold. After 20 years on staff at our church, I’ve moved on to writing full time, getting healthy, taking back our home from the years of neglect, and dating my husband. At NTGTG, you will read about the things I love (my husband, our children, critters, Jesus, to name a few) and my thoughts on life. Warning: I tend to be real. And I might just use a cuss word now and then. Welcome.
